Charles Huber was an aerospace engineer for the Department of Defense for 35 years. He retired in 2016 to become a teacher because he wants to inspire young adults to make the world a better place. He was a certified Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University professor teaching college dual enrollment engineering and physics classes to high school students, and, in 2017, he was selected Palm Beach County Beginning Teacher of the Year. Charles brought his considerable talents and experience to the American Heritage School family in 2019.
